The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has spent more than 30 years sharing history’s timeless lessons and educating the world about the dangers of unchecked antisemitism and the fragility of democracy. This work is more urgent than ever amid an alarming rise in antisemitism, conspiracy theories, and Holocaust distortion worldwide. 

Join Dr. Michael Berenbaum, an eminent Holocaust historian who played a lead role in the Museum’s creation, to discuss how institutions must address national and global challenges while protecting the truth of the Holocaust and ensuring its relevance for new generations.
